Unclear. Despite the resemblance in form and meaning, its relationship to Proto-Germanic*draganą(“to drag, draw”) is debated, since Latin initial t- and Germanic initial *d- is not a regular correspondence according to conventionally accepted sound laws. Some consider it impossible for both to be inherited from a common Proto-Indo-European root[1][2] (though De Vaan thinks they could be related as loans from some common non-Indo-European source[2]). Others suppose they can both be derived from a PIE or post-PIE root *dʰragʰ-,[3] with the Latin form showing dissimilation to *dragʰ- (a controversial sound change for Latin: Weiss argues that the presence of a liquid after the first stop was an essential conditioning factor for this "Limited Latin Grassmann's Law"), followed by devoicing of dr to tr (a more generally accepted sound change).[4][5] Schrijver argues that the presence of -ā- in the perfect stem and in some related forms such as trāgula is a sure sign of an original laryngeal in the root, and proposes *dʰr(e)Hgʰ- as a possible form.[4]
Ea tum cura maxime intentos habebat Romanos, non ab ira tantum, quae in nullam unquam ciuitatem iustior fuit, quam quod urbs tam nobilis ac potens, sicut defectione sua traxerat aliquot populos, ita recepta inclinatura rursus animos uidebatur ad ueteris imperii respectum.
This concern in particular troubled the mindful Romans at the time, not so much because of anger, which has never been more justified against any other city, rather because a city so noble and powerful, in the same way that it had attracted the support of a number of communities by its revolt, was thought would again turn attention back towards respect for the previous government once recaptured.
